We called in here after visiting Castaway Play. The food looked good online and it seemed to have a country pub look and feel to it. Our initial reactions were that the service was awful. Our waitress was unpleasant and never came back to take our order (we had to go and ask to order). They slightly improved but we felt like everything was too much trouble. Oh the flip side, the food and drink were extremely good. We had the pie of the day. Really good portion sizes and it tasted truly home cooked. I tried some of our sons pizza, that was also really good. Dough tasted home made along with the sauce. Overall we would go back. I think the service was a blip. And the food was worth it.

Great service fabulous meal. Thankyou

Very quiet, not very warm welcome from the young staff. Service was very slow, 35 minutes for 2 pasta dishes. Food when it arrived was very tasty although my risotto was a little “wet”. Puttanesca was very good.

Food was very nice and the service was good.pleasant staff.I Shall return.

Had a really great time here. Came for a drink and decided to stay for dinner. It was a quiet when I arrived but got a little busier during food service. Lovely waitress who was really helpful with my request for extra gravy. I had pie and chips and a great pint of Unicorn. Delicious. Can't fault it. See you again soon

I booked a table at the Egerton Arms for Wednesday 19 April 2023 for 12.30 on arrival we were seated in the bar area the table that they had given us wasn't really big enough for the 3 of us, we did ask for a bigger table and there was a vacant table for 4 people which we moved to. We were abit disappointed that we weren't offered a table in the restaurant. The food was lovely what we ordered but there was quite a wait due to the chef being very busy a couple that came in after us walked out they weren't prepared to wait . We have been previously and what happened will not stop us coming again.

Such good service. A delight after the slow and sometimes churlish service elsewhere in the area. They brought the baby mash and gravy immediately as they seemed to know , babies won't wait. He devoured it. Our meals were excellent and the fish fingers were really fish goujons no filler just pure fish. A most enjoyable experience. To be repeated.

In one word Fabulous

Great food, great portions and great service too! All in all well done!

What an amazing cafe/deli/bakery. The window is packed to the rafters with delicious looking cakes and pies. the deli has lovely quality ingredients. And the cafe has a great little menu. My soup and sandwich were very tasty. A real gourmet cafe.

Best italian for miles. Always have a good meal here. Would recommend to anyone

We had lunch at the Plough today, and the best steak we have had in years, it was great. Staff were incredible. Thank you.

Always a queue but never have to wait long. Delicious every time .

A wedding party of 18 of us dined at The Swettenham Arms. We were given attentive service and nothing seemed too much trouble. Considering our number the courses were served and cleared promptly and with a minimum of fuss and all enjoyed the delicious fare. The Australians loved the atmosphere and interior and for a change it made us proud to be able to take them to a place wher the service was exemplary. Thank you to all the staff who made the day soooo special

I have been to the Swettenham arms many times over a number of years and enjoyed both the food and the drink, however after our last visit I don't think that it will be on our list of places to go in the future. We arrived at 12.00 on a Tuesday lunch time and at almost 14.00 we were still waiting for our desert, at that point we gave up on ever seeing it and left. Shame but time to move on I think and we were not the only ones left waiting.

I wish to thank you for a lovely evening spent at the Swettenham Arms last Friday to celebrate my son’s birthday. All of the staff from start to finish were extremely pleasant and helpful Nothing was too much trouble for anyone and noticeably a friendly attitude pervaded. Needless to say, the food was superbly cooked and enjoyed by us all .So once again many thanks to everyone and we hope you continue the brilliant work and that we visit again soon.

I took my family up there on Sunday. Great selection of roast meats available. Really warm atmosphere. Friendly staff and GREAT food!! Will definitely be coming again.
